CHRONIC PROBLEMS THAT HINDER SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE PURPOSE FOR ESTABLISHING THE CHURCH
The church is the body of Christ. It is made up of people who are unified (Ephesians 4: 1-3) under Jesus Christ, who represents and reflects Him to the world (1 Corinthians 12:12-17). The purpose of the church is to join people of different backgrounds and talents and provide them training and opportunities to accomplish God's work. It accomplishes these both internally, within the body, and externally, in the world. (Acts 2:42) explains the internal function of the church: "And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers." Jesus entrusted the church with the task to teach the body sound doctrine.
In addition, there are many influences in the world that claim to have the truth, but God entrusted His word to the church (Ephesians 4:14). Still, knowledge of doctrine is useless if it isn't used (1 Corinthians 13:2): "So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:11-13 NIV).
Sound teaching leads to spiritual maturity which leads to building up the body of Christ. Sound teaching and unified body enables members of the church to take care of each other through prayer (Acts 2: 42). Externally, the purpose of the church is to fulfill the Great Commission as Jesus commanded in (Matthew 28:18-20). There is no nobler purpose for the church than to introduce others…...

Iraq has many problems over the past decade. As today, Iraqi government is trying to develop and enhance their country. The environment of Iraq becomes more polluted every day. Because of the toxic gases which produced by the factories. However, this is just one the problems that Iraq is facing today. Iraq is facing three important challenges or problems which are political, religious, and educational.
Iraq is challenging great political problems. There are many parties in Iraq, and each party is working for its own benefits and advantages. If you watch Iraqi parliament for one time, you will see that they are just want money and high positions. They just agree on constitutions that benefit them, and they don't care about the country. The latest issue was the conflict between Nuri Al-Malki and Anbar's tribes. Anbar's tribes request from the government to change some policies because they are not fair, but Al-Malki disagrees because that is against his benefits. Iraq has political issues with neighbor countries too. For a long time, Iraq has problems with Kuwait and still has problems because Iraq conquered Kuwait in 1990. Iraq has troubles with Iran because Iran wants to control our country, so they can control the Middle East after that. Iran has many spies in our country and government. The other reason is that Iraq is the main base of USA army in the Middle East
Iraq has many religious problems. There are different types of religions......

...Primary Education Development Programme (PEDP). The first intake of primary school pupils under PEDP was in January 2001 in which more than 1.6m pupils were registered and they will finish standard seven in 2008.
The Secondary Education Development Programme (SEDP) was launched in July 2005 with little influence of interest groups in the development process and ownership. The union feels that the government is not ready to address problems that were identified during the PEDP Review such as serious shortages of staff quarters, shortage of and inadequate trained teachers, which automatically will affect the implementation of SEDP. Either there are no strategies in place to implement SEDP without repeating the same shortcomings, which were identified by PEDP Review Team.
This paper is looking at the situation of secondary education provision in Tanzania Mainland by linking it with PEDP. It also discussing challenges on policy choices in secondary education provision and proposes alternative policy choices, which can help to address problems facing education provision in secondary schools in Tanzania. It also highlight the union profiles and its roles in the policy formation in the country.

...Problems facing the U.S. Banking sectors
There are still a number of problems that face the U.S banking sector. The banking industry is slowly emerging from the financial crises of 2008 that left its reputation battered and tarnished. This has created a much tougher and a more competitive market. There are around 7,200 commercial banks in the United States. I will identify some of the problems as well as suggest some policy recommendations to resolve these issues in order to overcome and help strengthen and growth this sector. Regulatory issues, emerging technology demands and customer service focus are three main areas I have identified as well as will provide suggestions and recommendations for in the paper.
The U.S. banking sector continues to face a great deal of uncertainty in regards to regulations. Bank regulations in the United States are highly fragmented when compared to other countries. Most countries only have one bank regulator as opposed to the United States that is regulated at both the federal and state level. Within those federal and state levels there are a number of regulations that were delayed and or are still being defined. This causes a great deal of uncertainty in regards to the costs associated with complying with these new proposed standards and regulations. In addition, it makes in tough for these institutions to predict or implement a long term strategic plan when there is so much uncertainty with policy in the upcoming years.

1. Discuss the major problems facing hospitals today. Offer some possible solutions to each of these problems.
Some of the major problems that face hospitals today include; cost increases, bed surpluses, and the overemphasis of specialized care vs. primary care.
Cost increases for hospitals are caused by several different factors. According to a report by the American Hospital Association, labor cost accounts for more than half of hospitals’ total expenses. This number grew by between 5 to 8% a year from 2002 to 2009. Another issue effecting hospitals is the growth in patients covered by Medicare and Medicaid. These patients represent 60% of all admissions. These programs do not pay the full cost of care. The AHA claims the amount each program pays has decreased significantly year after year. Patients unable to pay for care amount to about 6% of hospitals’ cost. To me a universal health care system would definitely assist in this problem. If everyone paid a portion for the same health care, then costs would not rise so high.
Bed surpluses are detrimental to healthcare for several reasons. First, money is invested to create the capacity for beds in health facilities. That money is basically wasted if the beds are not utilized. Second, the beds cost so much to operate and if they are empty they are not bringing income. The surplus of beds can also lead to unnecessary hospital admissions. One answer to this problem is the use of swing beds. Surplus......

...explanation to attempt to cover all aspects of homelessness. This explanation does show how widespread and complicated the state of being homeless is and how socially there is not one simple answer to a solution for this problem.
Initially the social problem of being homeless was not considered a major concern and according to Robert Rosenheck in his article on Homelessness in America (1994), when homelessness was first seen as a growing public problem, it was originally linked to the recession of the early 1980’s. Because the trends used for the evaluation process to determine future problems were based on a system present that dealt with poverty, this problem was not of an increasing widespread concern as homelessness was considered to be simple situation due to a “tragic but temporary aberration affecting particularly vulnerable segments of the population.”(Rosenheck 1994). The trends that governed this thought process dealt with,
a) Unemployment,
b) Medical and mental disability
c) Being single and
d) Race with the predominant ethnicity of the African American race.
At the time, gender played a role but the role differed based on the previous noted trends. According to Rosenheck, reports that were based on these trends placed homelessness as a “temporary problem that is confined to the fringes of society and does not affect the societal core.” (Rosenheck 1994) Over the years that nonconcrete concern had become a more concrete and widespread......

The Range of Problems Facing Human Service Clients
Client problems are rarely limited to just one, single issue. One problem alone can lead to other problems and the human service helper should always keep this in mind so that specific helping skills can be implemented to serve the clients’ needs. These problems can range from housing, food, physical or mental illness, alcohol abuse, domestic abuse, Veteran’s issues and child or family issues. All of these issues are multi-faceted and can be very difficult to help with. (R. Woodside & T. McClam, 2011) Assisting with client’s problems requires gaining the trust of the client. This is important for gathering information so the helper can give the best and most effective help they can. (R. Woodside & T. McClam, 2011) to do this, a human service professional uses helping skills to assist their clients. Some of the basic skills are verbal and non-verbal communication, and listening and responding. These are the foundations to the human service professional and client relationship. Used correctly, they can help form an easy flow of helpful information and an effective helping relationship with the client.

...In 21th century, many things have become more convenient and easier to complete. Traveling around the world is possible in modern world. In the past, you need to apply to Visa. Now, more and more governments offer tourist Visa to foreign. You can enter any country easily. However; this also lowers the safety inspection.
It may cause some problems, such as terrorist activities. The situation has two. One is that the foreigners go to other countries and do threaten there. Another one is the local people force tourists to pay money or put them in danger. The local people just want to show something scared to government so they scarified the tourists. For example, it happened in the tourist district of Kuta, Bali, Indonesia, on 12 October 2012. The attack was claimed as the deadliest act of terrorism in the history of Indonesia according to the current police general. 202 people were killed, including 88 Australian, 38 Indonesian and 5 Swedish citizens. About 240 people were injured. (Amy Zalman, Ph.D., 2002) This was caused by a violent Islamist group. They caused another bombing in 2005. When this happened, it made the market of tourism in Indonesia go down sharply, not only affected one area but also whole Indonesia. This is an unexpected situation but a really big issue in Asia Pacific. It happened in many countries. Another example is Manila hostage crisis which happened on August 23, 2010. A Filipino hijacked a tourist bus carrying tourists from Hong Kong, in an attempt...

As human beings, we all have some sort of issue or problem but have you ever thought how some problems may affect people. Individuals, groups and communities are facing a wide range of problems and some surely go unnoticed. “Problems for clients are rarely single issues,” (Marianne Woodside, An Introduction to Human Services, 2012) and depending on how many actual problems there are some may go unnoticed. A few of the problems client may face are but definitely not limited to, developmental theory, situational perspective, meeting human needs, both physical and psychological, social change, and environmental influences. Human service professionals are skilled to notice the problems clients are facing and use those problems to set obtainable goals for each client they see. When a client comes in only seeking housing, a qualified helper will recognize the client definitely realizes there are more underline issues. Several underline issues could include the client being unemployed, or maybe the client has children and can’t afford child care.
The developmental theory is the process in which humans develop and the stages of life we all will encounter during our life span. Erik H. Erikson major contribution was his “eight stages of man” (Marianne Woodside, Chapter 5: The Client, 2012). Erikson’s eight stages all go hand in hand...

...Describe the three basic/core economic problems facing all economies.
Economic problems emerge because our desire for goods and services to consume is greater than our ability to produce those goods and services. As humans, we have unlimited wants and limited resources. This is referred to as scarcity, which exists because there are insufficient resources to produce the goods and services to fully satisfy all wants. Another part of the problem is the fact that resources are not distributed evenly between countries and societies. As a result we are forced to choose among alternative options. For example, you might go into a shop and see two great-looking pairs of jeans but you only have enough money (resources) to buy one of them. Another example is that, a business might have received a major order for its products and wants to increase production but does not have the staff or the equipment and raw materials to meet the order in full.
The above mentioned examples highlight the problem of scarce resources in relation to wants and needs. Because no economy can produce enough goods and services to satisfy all its citizens’ wants, choices must be made. The decision to have one thing over another involves a cost. Not a monetary cost, but what is known in economics as an opportunity cost, that is the next best alternative foregone. In other words, the cost of any choice that you make is the value of the best opportunity that you give up in order to make that choice.

Problems Facing Human Service Clients and How They Are Helped
There are many problems in the world today that human service clients are faced with, and are not limited to just a few. There is no one person with one single problem which is shy it is so important that the “whole person” is helped. Some of the problems that plague clients today are innumerable, but I will attempt to elaborate on a few.
Human Service workers ensure that children live in safe homes and have their basic needs met. Helping parents to take care of their children may include in assisting with applications for food stamps or low-income housing and helping them to locate appropriate childcare.
Housing or the lack of housing is one of the issues facing Human Service clients today. Many people are without homes for various reasons, such as not having money to pay, which means they are jobless, or not making enough to cover their living expenses. A client that is homeless can be faced with many other issues simply because they have no place to live.
Another challenge for Human Service clients is depression. Depression can come about when a client is not able to adequately live with the necessities of life and seem to have no means in which to acquire them. When a client cannot provide for him or herself, it is detrimental to their well-being and may bring on a bout of......

Part I: Focus of Case Study
Rape is such a heinous crime that lingers in the psyche of the victim long after the physical evidence is gone that it is no wondering why much attention is focused on the healing and resilience of the victim. The most attention the offender receives in a mug shot in the media and news of their court date, verdict, and sentencing aired. This is only facing half of this world wide atrocity. This case study will focus on a male that has been convicted of the rape felony and the counseling approach used to hopefully help him identify the causes of his behavior and transform his way of thinking, coping, and behavior towards the opposite sex so that he can move forward in life as a positive, well-functioning citizen.
The history of Ned. Ned is a 20 year old college student of the University of Georgia. He was born to a single mother who was an alcoholic prostitute and an unknown father. Often times, Ned was left alone to fend for himself. Beginning at 13, though he lived in poverty Ned was referred to by his teachers as intellectually gifted and a star athlete by coaches. Being a handsome young man, when money became scarce, his mother began to sell him to the highest female bidder. Ned was forced to commit lewd sexually acts for women patrons; some......

The range of problems facing human service clients is multi-faceted. No one person has just one problem, and there are plenty of clients to go around (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011). I believe this point is well articulated by Neil Headman, assistant professor of human services at the University of Illinois at Springfield (2011), who stated “It does not matter who your client is, everyone needs help” (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011).
Different client problems appear for different reasons and there are various theories used to identify the client’s problems. No one is exempt from problems, this much is a given. Problems are a part of the everyday life, for everyday persons that may wind up unknowingly dealing with them. Individuals have different problems and handle them differently depending on their severity. This is important to understand when a human service worker is working with clients. Being a human service professional there are different skills that can be used while working with clients, in order to help the client effectively.
Problems usually indicate something exists that is causing the client to experience trouble or discomfort. (Woodside, 2011) The professional must solve the problem with a positive approach.
The client can face a range of different problems. They can be faced with a difficult situation or event that has taken place or a physical condition. Some problems can be addressed and a solution quickly......

...GDP per capita (in 1990 Geary-Khamis dollars) (data range 1950-2003)
Since 1991, the Indian economy has pursued free market liberalisation, greater openness in trade and increase investment in infrastructure. This helped the Indian economy to achieve a rapid rate of economic growth and economic development. However, the economy still faces various problems and challenges.
1. Inflation
Fuelled by rising wages, property prices and food prices inflation in India is an increasing problem. Inflation is currently between 8-10%. This inflation has been a problem despite periods of economic slowdown. For example in late 2013, Indian inflation reached 11%, despite growth falling to 4.8%. This suggests that inflation is not just due to excess demand, but is also related to cost push inflationary factors. For example, supply constraints in agriculture have caused rising food prices. This causes inflation and is also a major factor reducing living standards of the poor who are sensitive to food prices. The Central Bank of India have made reducing inflation a top priority and have been willing to raise interest rates, but cost push inflation is more difficult to solve and it may cause a fall in growth as they try to reduce inflation.
2. Poor educational standards
Although India has benefited from a high % of English speakers. (important for call centre industry) there is still high levels of illiteracy amongst the population. It is worse in rural areas and amongst women. Over 50% of......

...Zimbabwe.
China currently has economic interests in Zimbabwe and for this reason supports
the current government. China has developed within the country coal and platinum
mines, hydroelectric generators, thermal power stations, as well as build airports,
bridges, and hospitals. Additionally, China supports the country with financial aid.
Many Chinese firms also have operations in Zimbabwe and a favourable government
is thus in the interest of China as a country and its people.
3. What does your country see as the major problems facing Zimbabwe
today?
China has concerns over the validity of election results due to violence against those
who support the opposition. Widespread poverty, malnutrition, unemployment, and
economic and political instability are also a major problems.
4. Does your country believe the United Nations should play a role in
addressing the problems in Zimbabwe? Why or why not?
No, we believe that if the U.N. wishes to solve the problems in Zimbabwe they should
do so through constructive means, such as food aid and economic advice. It is not the
role of the U.N. to involve itself in the domestic affairs of other countries when those
countries do not pose a threat to world peace and are not guilty of crimes against
humanity. We believe that if the United Nations truly wishes to help it should do so
in a constructive and positive manner, such as through mediation between opposing
sides.

...Italy, 1915 was facing many problems due to a number of reasons, including the main 3 factors I consider to be the greatest, these are economic weakness, weakness of the liberal political system and the lack of Italian identity.
Economic Weakness.
Italy was still a predominantly rural and agricultural country in the south and most peasants and labourers lived in day to day poverty and deprivation. Industry was at a great drawback because of the lack of natural resources, mostly coal and iron ore, and the iron and steel that was being developed was restricted for military purposes and railways. These financial problems Italy was experiencing meant the government received little in taxes thus making it more difficult for them to fund such national projects such as the enlargement of schooling and the expansion of Italian armed forces. I consider this to be one of the biggest problems 1915 Italy faced as it was an immediate hindrance that effected the Italian people directly in their day to day finances, and also the economy’s weakness also had long term effects such as Italy having a weak military force and some children growing up without the opportunity of an education.
Weaknesses of the Liberal political system.
Italy seen 29 prime ministers in just 55 years, this was due to the Liberal political system being relatively weak from 1870-1922. Italy’s parliamentary system had been based on the British but it lacked vital aspects and turned out to be very different. One...
